Summary of @IPCC_CH's latest report on oceans and the world's icescapes (thread): 1. Over the last decades, global warming has led to widespread shrinking of the cryosphere, mass loss from ice sheets and glaciers, reductions in snow cover and Arctic sea ice, warming of permafrost

@IPCC_CH 2 The global ocean has warmed unabated since 1970, taking up 90% of the excess heat in the climate system. Since 1993, the rate of ocean warming has more than doubled. Marine heatwaves have very likely doubled in frequency since 1982.

@IPCC_CH 3 Global mean sea level is rising, accelerating in recent decades due to increasing rates of ice loss from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets as well as continued glacier mass loss and ocean thermal expansion (as he oceans warms, water expands).

Too busy, or need poetry? Here’s the #IPCC’s Special Report on Climate Change and Land #SRCCL summarised in 29 #haiku#sciku. (Disclaimer: personal choices here, not representing the same balance as the full report. Apologies for misappropriating this ancient art form…) [1/29]

A dusty path,
But there are cleaner routes,
Yet, you chose to be soiled with earth,
Standing mocked before elites,
Your confidence muffled by a swathe of flies,
Your nose piling up unused water that dripped down your jaw.

You chose to be robbed of choice.

Ambiguity

The mother of errors,
Always unknown,
Muddling right in a wrongful way,
Pointing evil in an unstoppable direction,
It never meant harm,
But brings blood to the table,
How did it nestle all alone?
Waving to no-one in motion?

With the outreach and analysis of @IPCC_CH#SR15 report underway, I could not resist trying to summarise the SPM in 19 #haiku, forever inspired by @climate_haiku. (Disclaimer: personal choices here, not representing the same balance as the full report...). "Introduction" (1/19)
